I appreciate you all so much for hanging in there with me during this blessed (but chaotic!) period in my life, as we are nearing the time for our new baby boy to make his arrival. =) I have not been as present as I usually am in our bloggers' community, & I do miss it! But it's been a challenge just to keep all of our usual plates spinning around here, & keeping things as routine as possible for Pretty Little Bare Feet has been my #1 priority.

I've also been trying to get our house ready for the arrival of our new baby.

Since he will start out sleeping in our room, there has been (& still is) some work to do to get our master bedroom ready for sharing. Eventually he'll move upstairs to share a room with Pretty Little Bare Feet.

(Our second&third bedrooms are *huge,* so I feel no guilt in having two small children share one of them, so we can keep our fabulous multi-purpose "spare" room as it is!)

So there have been some changes to Pretty Little Bare Feet's room, as well. & of course the doctors' visits are more frequent now. & of course I am...

...exhausted,

tired,

worn out...

...I'm pretty much ready for the challenge of newborn+toddler, rather than this current challenge of pregnant mama + toddler. I can function without sleep...but...

...I miss having energy!

& mobility!

& not being so achy by the end of every day!

(Okay, okay, & yes, I miss having a g&t or a glass of wine in the evening, as well. ;))

So although I'll try to blog a bit more often in May (never meant to go on hiatus for this long!)...if I'm "not around," you can check in with me on Twitter or email me (at the address in my Blogger profile).

Again, I appreciate all of you!, & I have been enjoying what little catching up on your blogs I've been able to manage.

I am so inspired by all of the beautiful, colorful spring posts.

Please keep them coming!

(& if you are one of the many of us Southern folks that is or has been dealing with the severe weather today, stay safe!)

Blogs I Adore

.

I really attempt to give proper recognition to the sources for the images&photos I use on this blog. Images of my belongings or cooking are mainly from my own camera. In most cases, the photos of items I feature from retail sites, have been taken from these retail sites, for which I provide a link directing the reader to where to buy these items. When I use an image from a blog I follow, or a photo that is easily traced back to its original source, I will almost always provide a captioned credit designating that source, i.e. "(via: source)."

Still...life is short, & time is precious. I do not have the time to find the original source for every image I find on the internet...& nobody is entitled to a photo credit for an image they found & posted on their blog, even if their blog is where I actually found it. (I learned that in law school! =))

If you do see a photo here, that you legitimately have a right to, but that I have been unable to properly acknowledge...please contact me through the email address on my Blogger profile. In that case I will be more than happy to give you credit, or remove the image, at your request.

That being said...most of the images for which I have not supplied an origin, I have found via Pinterest. I do reformat &/or resize nearly every single photo because I am OCD like that.
